Just a simple man going crazy from Architecture.

@DylanFruchey Lol it definitely made me hungry, but there are definitely better options out there

[ZPoor @ZPoor5]

@MiniLaird Should we encourage the cities death, personally I think that the slowly letting nature take over dead cities would be a lot more interesting, like something out of the move I am Legend.

@CladyKelsey Cities aren't really a kit of parts or a cookie cutter creation, I think that cities grow organically, building a story and history as it goes.

@jdblankenber It doesn't surprise me at all that Disney is an expert at this

[ZPoor @ZPoor5]

@georgiacarch329 I believe that Ford contributed, but I think that Detroit's problems stem from a multitude of causes not just one.

[ZPoor @ZPoor5]

@HunterW27196455 It takes times to occur, so a lot of factors would have to stay relatively consistent for that period of time

"There are further conventions, which are characterised by Foster and Spuybroek's designs. The continuous blobs and twisted cells are typically sliced at the edge where they meet the ground, the sky and or an adjacent context" (Jencks) #architecturalhistory

"Here Kahn's gravitas lifts much
of the small painting and graphic work above its station, and responds to its daintiness with
refined contrasts of white oak floors, Belgian linen and dark oak panels." (Jencks) #architecturalhistory

"He writes that the young are: 'the only ones
capable of feeling actual problems, personally, profoundly ... They are in the know.
Their predecessors no longer are, they are out, they are no longer subject to the direct
impact of the situation." (Jencks) #architecturalhistory

"The problem of this approach is its amnesia
and blindness to preexisting structures,
urban ecologies, and morphological
patterns. A common ground is useless
without people to activate it and to
surround it, to make it their commons." (Shane) #architecturalhistory

[ZPoor @ZPoor5]

"This rationalist, morphological and
landscape tradition seems to be centered in Venice." (Shane) #architecturalhistory

[ZPoor @ZPoor5]

"Indeed, it became one of the few global cultural movements to be initiated and led by architecture, for a very good reason. Architecture, as we will see, faces the problems of Modernism more directly than the other arts:" (Jencks) #architecturalhistory

@AbigailBulmahn Its a good quote about reality vs perfection

[ZPoor @ZPoor5]

@llt_bsu They also wanted science that didn't exist, and they ventured into the realm of speculation,

[ZPoor @ZPoor5]

@DylanFruchey Seems like most of these movements promise something and don't deliver

[ZPoor @ZPoor5]

@nichole_joh seems like a terrible way to view the world with only extremes

[ZPoor @ZPoor5]

@KaylorM2 Simplicity has a beauty of its one, and sometimes complexity is just a pitfall

[ZPoor @ZPoor5]

@RunyanGuo If you solve for one problems odds are you solved for others along the way, so you might aswell solve for multiple problems

"Villa Savoye .... absolute insistence on virtues of primary solid and the isolation of an object" (Rowe) #architecturalhistory

[ZPoor @ZPoor5]

The abstraction of the natural man vs the machine, and the abstraction and views of the noble savage are rather interesting to read about in connection to architecture. (Rowe) #architecturalhistory
